Melvin Oliva Jerusalem (born February 22, 1994) currently holds the WBC mini-flyweight title, a distinction he earned in March 2024. He previously captured the WBO mini-flyweight crown in 2023. Known for his resilience, Jerusalem rebounded from early career setbacks against Wanheng Menayothin and Joey Canoy to build momentum with decisive wins, including knockouts and technical stoppages. His rise through the ranks has established him as one of the Philippines’ prominent champions in the lighter weight divisions.
